SIPHON-BOTTLE HEAD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 1, 1918.

Application ledrJ une 23, 1916. Serial No. 105,494.

To all whomt may concern: Y

Be it known that I, LUIS DEL RIVERO, a subject of the'King of Spain, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Siphon-Bottle Heads, of which the following is a specification.`

This invention relates to a siphon bottle and particularly pertains to a'valve head therefor;

It has been a matter of considerable difculty to charge Siphon bottlesk of the ordinary construction due to the fact that the liquid necessarily has to pass into the bottle through thesame orifice that the air within the bottle passes out and as bottles arecommonly constructed are provided with a stein extending the length of the bottle, it has required considerable manipulation of the contents of the bottle to fill it completely and remove the air which is trapped therein.

It is the object of this invention to provide a siphon bottle whichinay be readily lled bynieans of a semi-automatic filling vmachine in such manner as to obviate handling ofthe bottle during the filling operation.

Another object isto provide means for allowing a siphon bottle to be readily filled without possibility of air being trapped therein and by which the liquid may be introduced continuously intothe bottle under pressure as it displaces the air.

Another object of this invention is to provide automatic valve means which may be actuated by the pressure of afiuid and will, when so actuated, allow the fluidv to enter the bottle through the valve head without interfering with the Siphon valve ordinarily provided therefor and which will permit of the Abottle being filled in'either an upright or an inverted position, Y

Another objectis to provide simple means for confining a liquid under pressure within the bottle, rwhich means will not act upon the Siphon valve control and will insure that the liquid may be only drawn through the 'Siphonl valve. v n

Another object is to 'provide a Siphon lbottle valve head which allows the `bottle to be readily filled in a continuous operation limproved head and illustrating in vertical section the detail thereof. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view of the bottle yhead and particularly illustrates the vent or filling conduit.

Fig. 3 is a diagrammatical view in side elevation of the siphon bottle as being filled while in an upright position.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 showing the bottle as being filled Awhile in an vinverted position.

Referring to the drawings more particul'arly, 10 indicates a Siphon bottle which is lcommonly formed of' glass and which has mounted upon its neck 11 a siphon valve head 12. The valve head, as particularly illustrated'in the drawings, is provided for n two purposes, one, to furnish valvev controlled filling or vent means, and the other to provide a valve controlled siphon outlet. The present invention yis particularly involved'in the construction of the filling or vent valve as shown in detail 'in Fig..2 of the drawings, n

The valvehead 12 is formed with a'cylindrical body portion 13 which is enlarged at its lower end to provide a threaded cap 14 for engagement with a metallic sleeve or collar 15 which fits yaround the neck 11 of the bottle and is clamped thereupon by the threaded cap 14 as it is screwed in position upon the sleeve. The cap 14 vhas its upper extension formed with a cylindrical externally threaded member- 16 within which a Siphon valve chamberv 17 is formed. The chamber 17 extends longitudinally of the body portion 13 and provides that a valve head 18 may be held by means of an expanadapted to be reciprocated Within theboreA by a thumb lever 251fi'ilcl1un1edgin.asuita'ble manner in the Wall of the bore. A pair of The valvel packing Washers 26 and 27 arelsuperimi 24. When the siphon stem fitting v39 is screwed into position, the siphon valve is in its complete assembled condition.

The filling orY vent valvekmechanisrn is then;` assembled {With-in the ybody-1 13 .by first placing' theV partition 'disk "31 Within the counter-bore and mounting the disk valve .-1532ffreeiprocally rethereupon. The Vpacking ring 34 isneXt placed in position and held byftlie'nut 3C, thus completing the assembly posed one upon the other at the bottomof-of the vent valve.

VV'Reference being had to Figi 2in-Which the vent or filling valve is illustrated,V vit Will be s'eenthatfa conduit 28 isformed vv'ithin the bodyof vthe bottle head and extends .the length thereof. This eonduitprovides communication between Vthe* cap 14 and Vthe juppe'rend of the bore 23.*" The'upper endf`29 ofthe conduitV communicates with a counterbore-BO. formedvithin 'the upper opened `ffflld ofthe bore 2,3. yAdisk 31 is provided to'seat at the bottomv of said counterbore and acts as av partition Wall between the counter-,bore andthe mainbore 23 as Well 35 y ...Compression` spring 33 l against l.a l'aacking ffring.

It will thus be seen that the siphon bottle here disclosed may be quickly and continuously filled without handling the bottle during the filling operation and without trapping air therein.

I claim:

In a siphon bottle head, a cylindrical body having a central cylindrical bore extending downwardly from the upper end of the body and terminating therein, the end wall of said bore being formed with a small central opening, a valve plunger, the stem of which is adapted to reciprocate through the slnall central opening of the body, a seat against which said valve member is adapted to bear, a coil spring mounted within said central bore and adapted to hold the valve against its seat, an actuating lever by which the valve may be relieved from its seat in opposition to said spring, a Siphon spout in communication with the small central bore of the cylindrical body and which is controlled by said plunger valve, a siphon tube mounted beneath the plunger valve and in communication therewith, said tube being disposed in longitudinal alinement with the valve stem and the central axis of the cylindrical body bore, a mounting sleeve Jformed integral with said cylindrical body and adapted to encircle the siphon tube in a manner to permit the head to be secured upon the mouth of the bottle, a partition wall positioned within the upper end of the cylindrical bore of the body member, a disk valve yieldably mounted upon one side of said partition wall, an externally threaded hollow` nut mounted within the end of the cylindrical bore of said body member, and a passage-way formed within the side wall of said cylindrical body and adapted to establish communication between the interior of the bottle upon which the head is mounted and the external space upon application of pressure to the auxiliary disk valve which is held in closed position by means of a compression spring surrounding the stem of said valve.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
